Re: at whits end
I fought this same thing on a blazer. Went through countless shims and starters. I read in a book that with the starter engaged you should be able to bend a paper clip wire and have it fit snug between the teeth of the starter and flywheel. I tried it with no luck. I changed the flywheel and haven't had a problem since.

Re: at whits end
I would check that flywheel....
The only time that I have every had a new or rebuilt starter start grinding that soon; the flywheel had issues.

Re: at whits end
Do you have the front support from the starter to the block on there?

Re: at whits end
Someone left it off at one point you would ne surprised at how much it helps and keeps the starter from flexing

Re: at whits end
You might need to shim only the outside bolt. That will tilt the starter in and get the teeth closer to the flywheel.
